There are almost 1,500 no holds barred, if we think a perfume is awful then we’ll say just that, reviews to dip in and out of. Each chapter is written with not only knowledge, but more humour than you thought possible when discussing perfume. This is all before we come to the frequently asked questions section which is the most comprehensive I’ve seen anywhere. Perfumes The A-Z Guide introduces us to perfume criticism, takes us through the different ways we perceive feminine and masculine fragrances, teaches us how to go about choosing a new scent, and gives us a brief history of perfume. Turin and Sanchez have a way with words that not only make the world of fragrance accessible, but also entertaining. A book about perfume written by a scientist and a perfume critic is going to be boring, right? Wrong.
